Hi all I went for a walk this afternoon and wandered past a skip. Now I know I'm not going to be able to retire early off this one but it did have an Orange OX Hot Rod handle bar on it and an STX group set so here we go, guess the frame (I have no idead by the way). My guess is some no name...

Hi all I have a small query i'd like to put to someone properly qualified. I'd rather not go into detail in a public forum but I feel that the community can be trusted. It's in relation to a separation. It's nothing heavy and a one sentence answer will be sufficient I believe. If you or anyone...

Hi all Due to a change in personal circumstances I'm sadly having to sell all of my Retro bikes and components. Some of you know what I have but for those who don't here's a bare minimum of what's included in the sale: 1997 Specialized Stumpjumper M2 FS Comp in candy blue with Pace Evo forks...

Need a 7 speed shifter for a work bike I'm building for a family member. The original is busted. It's for a Marin thingummybob. If I can dig it out this evening I'll post the full model number required :-) Apologies for the rubbish images, the bike's buried in the garage.

Located in East Yorkshire. I'll drop the price for a verified RB member as usual. I bought it with the intention of completing a full 'Trebz' level re spray and restoration but it's too good for me to chop up. It's 99% standard factory spec from 1965, everything works as it should. I bought a...

Hi all I can't use the Rock Shox suspension I have on my work bike (Claude Butler Cape Wrath) to accomodate the electric front wheel kit or bought. So can you all have a look in the parts bins please and see if you have a fork with a 240mm steerer. A-Head with an open drop out section, by...

Hi all I've not seen a post about the best all round bottom bracket unit. What's your suggestion / preference. I usually fit what I have that fit's the frame I have but maybe you have a recommendation for both new and old Retrobikers. BB-UN71 maybe or a BB-UN55 ? Over to you guys and gals.

Hi All I'm giving my 1988 Rockhopper (Blue) away for free. I really don't have time to box it up and work with couriers but hit me up if you want it. I may be able to box it, you never know. The bike differs slightly from the images as the saddle has been changed and the rear mech is not 1988...

I found these, may be of use to someone and they look very well made: Linky Mc Plinky. Linky Mc Plinky MKII...

Dudes. I need to make myself a BB tool retaining bolt. You all know the problem I have so I'll not go into details, let's just say the BB's not coming out, drive side stuck solid. I know I need an M8 bolt but do you have a Go To supplier for them as I'm struggling to find a suitable bolt for...

Hi All Following on from my earlier post in a way. Please suggest a fork with V-Brake fittings to suit my 1999 Kona Explosif. I'm wanting something modern with a budget of £300. My plan is to build a low cost XC bike based on the 1999 Explosif for me to get back into my cycling. The fork can be...

Hi All I'm wanting to get back in the saddle again after long break and thought I'd dip my toe in the 'Modern' hardtail arena. I've been on a few Retro rides with guys who have had the orange and white Cotic Soul bikes and everyone seems to have nothing but good feedback about them. So my...

Monday night pop quiz. Guess what I just bought to use as a work bike with an electric front wheel kit fitted:

Wanted for my 1988 Specialized Rockhopper work bike. Any old tatty bar mounted 6 speed shifters. I'm not wanting to spend too much as it's my work bike so no offers of £50 XT units please hehe. I'm fitting an electric front wheel kit and need to remove the original and integrated Exage brake /...

Hi all I'm considering adding an E-Bike kit to a 1988 Specialized Rockhopper (Blue) which is to be used as my daily commuter. As I'm office based I'm trying to not arrive at work all sweaty etc. I know some of you have added E-bike kit's to your rides so can you help a brother out a little and...

I'm still trying to find a Humu. Just 'sayin.

Hi All I'm wondering if any one has a nice 1" alloy seat post they would be happy to let go, suitable for a 1965 Moulton Deluxe. If you can help please post an image :) I have lot's of spares myself so I'm happy to swap / Trade or pay for one. Thanks Trebz

Hi All Are there any knife hobbyists or collectors in the group? I'm in the market for a new pocket knife (UK Legal) and thought I'd ask if any of you are enthusiasts before I go to the online market. Regards Trebz

Hi all Can you help me with a price / velue for these bar ends please. I know they are hard to come by but was wondering if it would be worth keeping them or letting them go as I have no bikes that they would suit. I'm selling off some quick win items to fund my Moulton Deluxe bike restoration...

Hi all I think it's a 1977, not 100% sure. Note that the saddle has been removed and replaced with another. Surplus to requirements. Pick up only from East Yorkshire. PM me for address details. The bike is sold as seen in the attached images. It's standard as far as I can tell and was bought...
